Etiquette - Educating the Fish
What does the forum think about educating the other players at the table? Stuff like talking about pot odds and outs, suggesting books, recommending sites, discussing strategy, etc.
There were a couple players doing this at one of my tables today, and it really pissed me off (I wound up turning off chat). It was a microlimit table, so it's not like I'm paying rent money with my winnings, but it's still a case of hurting your chances for making money in the future. I want the mass of players out there to be ignorant, and to stay that way. I make money because my opponents make mistakes.
At chess, go, Starcraft, or whatever, I want to help my fellow players. It's fun to put strategy guides together. But for poker...?
